3 days in Lima Itinerary

Founded in 1535 by Spanish explorer Francisco Pizarro, Lima represents an interesting blend of modern attractions and preserved colonial architecture, much of it clustered in the World Heritage-listed city center.

Lima is known for historic sites, museums, shopping, nightlife, and parks. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: don't miss a visit to Miraflores, tour the pleasant surroundings at Circuito Magico del Agua, steep yourself in history at Huaca Pucllana, and take a leisurely stroll along Miraflores Boardwalk.
